Espada Azul Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Whew, funny how taking up a Master's Degree kills any and all time for painting. Oh well, they're done now, all I need to do now is the last tac squad and I'll have my four Troop choices repainted. This time we have a, hmm, decidedly Anti-Vehicle/MEQ squad, or a 'Beardy' Las/Plas combo. It's hilarious how hard it is to... drybrush all those small details. Hence why I did what I could, though in the process it made it look as if everyone's weapons were rusting. Last up is the Anti-personnel squad. Haruhi knows when THAT will be repainted.

Espada Azul Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 Talk about bit escalation... I do think that I've gone overboard with the Sarges. The guy in the middle is for the last tac squad, and boy is he crowded with stuff -- the angle hides the fact that he has grenades, a pistol, a CCW, and more pouches.

bjørn eirik Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I don't mind the colour scheme, but it loooks a tad thick (might just be the pic though). I like "Dvojka's" powerfist :) keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espada Azul Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 The paint is actually really thin, all things considered -- the Blue is actually the basecoat (Tamiya Blue), for example. It only seems thick because, after I basecoated, I dipped the models in woodstain and polyurethane dip before I touched it up, THEN I hit it with some slim dustings of clearcoat.

Kuchinawa Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Well, I really like 'em. I paint in darker colors, but this is sorta the way I paint too. I guess my only suggestion, and it may be a dumb one, is you highlight theh face just a bit more. right now it seems kinda dark. But that may just be me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Ah, I especially like the sergeant. Awesome poses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'd say the face needs more attention too. My personal trick is to wash ogryn flesh and drybrush elf flesh. But the rest of the models are great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the rest of the models are great. No washes, no ink. :lol: I work with what I have brother (and that's very limited). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muller Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 So dilute a brown paint with about 6-9 parts water and make your own? ;P BTW, I have to agree with "björn", the red looks thick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espada Azul Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 It's the post-processing after I take the pictures. The paint itself is really thin and very subdued. When I run it through Thumbplus' enhancements though, that's what it looks like. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
